The Blues will seal top spot in Group H by matching Juventus’s result in the other game at home to Malmo, meaning a victory in Russia guarantees our progress to the last-16 as group winners.
Thomas Tuchel is without five regulars for the trip, including midfield duo Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic, the latter having tested positive for Covid-19 and subsequently facing a period of self-isolation.
Jorginho has been suffering from back pain and is also absent from the travelling party, along with Ben Chilwell, N’Golo Kante and Trevoh Chalobah.
The full Chelsea squad in Russia is:
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Antonio Rudiger
Marcos Alonso
Andreas Christensen
Thiago Silva
Romelu Lukaku
Christian Pulisic
Timo Werner
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Marcus Bettinelli
Edouard Mendy
Saul Niguez
